IMPORTANT INFORMATION - READ BEFORE USING Injury to or loss of desirable trees, shrubs, flowers, vegetables, fruits or other vegetation may result from failure to observe the following: Do not apply, drain or flush equipment on or near desirable trees or other plants, or on areas where their roots may extend, or in locations where the chemical may be washed or moved into contact with their roots. Do not use on lawns, walks, driveways, tennis courts, or similar areas. Prevent drift of spray to desirable plants. Do not contaminate any body of water, including irrigation water that may be used on crops. DO NOT APPLY BY AIR. Do not apply in high winds. Carefully observe sprayer clean-up instructions, as spray tank residue may damage crops other than spring wheat, durum or barley. Thoroughly clean all traces of tank mix from application equipment immediately after use. Flush tank, pump, hoses, and boom with several changes of water after removing nozzle tips and screens (clean these parts separately). Wash away any spray mixture from the outside of spray tank, nozzle or spray rig. Page 5 of 13

6 A MINIMUM RECROPPING INTERVAL OF 2 MONTHS SHOULD BE LEFT BETWEEN THE APPLICATION OF THIS PRODUCT AND SEEDING OF THE NEXT CROP. After 2 months, the following crops can be seeded: canola, flax, lentils, alfalfa. DO NOT APPLY EXPRESS TOSS-N-GO HERBICIDE WITH A CARRIER OTHER THAN WATER OR ANY ADDITIVE OTHER THAN THOSE INDICATED ON THIS LABEL. Other carriers may accelerate breakdown of this product and reduce its effectiveness. ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS: TOXIC to aquatic organisms and non-target terrestrial plants. Observe buffer zones specified under DIRECTIONS FOR USE. DIRECTIONS FOR USE GENERAL INFORMATION: EXPRESS Toss-N-Go Herbicide provides control of certain broad-leaved weeds as a pre-seeding herbicide on fields to be planted to wheat (including durum) and barley. Warm, moist growing conditions promote active weed growth and enhance the activity of EXPRESS Toss-N-Go Herbicide by allowing maximum foliar uptake and contact activity. Weeds hardened off by environmental stress such as cold weather, drought stress or excessive heat may not be adequately controlled or suppressed, and regrowth may occur. EXPRESS Toss-N-Go Herbicide may only be applied using ground spray equipment. For best results, ensure thorough spray coverage of target weeds. EXPRESS Toss-N-Go Herbicide rapidly stops growth of susceptible weeds. However, typical symptoms (discolouration) of dying weeds may not be noticeable for 1 to 3 weeks after application, depending on growing conditions and weed susceptibility. Degree of control and duration of effect depend on weed sensitivity, weed size, spray coverage and growing conditions. Activity of the herbicide mixture may be delayed by cold, dry conditions after application. Field sprayer application: DO NOT apply during periods of dead calm. Avoid application of this product when winds are gusty. DO NOT apply with spray droplets smaller than the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE) medium classification. Boom height must be 60 cm or less above the crop or ground. Buffer Zones: The buffer zones specified in the table below are required between the point of direct application and the closest downwind edge of sensitive terrestrial habitats (grasslands, forested areas, shelter belts, woodlots, hedgerows, riparian areas and shrublands), sensitive freshwater habitats (lakes, rivers, sloughs, ponds, prairie potholes, creeks, marshes, streams, reservoirs and wetlands) and estuarine/marine habitats. Method of Application Crop summerfallow, fields to be planted Buffer Zones (meters) Required for the Protection of: Aquatic Habitat of Terrestrial Habitat Depths: Less than 1 Greater m than 1 m Page 6 of 13

7 to wheat (spring, \and durum), barley (only as a pre-seeding herbicide) Field Sprayer Wheat and barley * For field sprayer application, buffer zones can be reduced with the use of drift-reducing spray shields. When using a spray boom fitted with a full shield (shroud, curtain) that extends to the crop canopy, the labelled buffer zone can be reduced by 70%. When using a spray boom where individual nozzles are fitted with cone-shaped shields that are no more than 30 cm above the crop canopy, the labelled buffer zone can be reduced by 30%. When a tank mixture is used, consult the labels of the tank-mix partners and observe the largest (most restrictive) buffer zone of the products involved in the tank mixture. NOTE: Applicators may recalculate a site-specific buffer zone by combining information on current weather conditions and spray configuration for the following applications: all airblast applications, and for field and aerial applications which specify the following droplet size category wording on the product label: DO NOT apply with spray droplets smaller than the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE) medium classification. To access the Buffer Zone Calculator, please visit the Pest Management Regulatory Agency web site. FOR WEED CONTROL IN SUMMERFALLOW With any summerfallow treatment, allow at least 10 days to elapse between treatment and tillage. Only weeds that have emerged at the time of application will be controlled. APPLICATION TIMING: EXPRESS Toss-N-Go Herbicide + 2,4-D Ester Tank Mix Apply EXPRESS Toss-N-Go Herbicide at 10 grams per hectare with 2,4-D ester at 420 grams/ha (0.6 L 2,4-D Ester LV-700). Apply the tank mix in the spring after emergence, up to the early flowering stage of the target weeds. WEEDS CONTROLLED: Flixweed and Stinkweed (fall rosettes and spring seedlings) CONTROL OF BROADLEAF WEEDS AND GRASSES IN FALLOW AND PRE-SEED TO SPRING WHEAT (INCLUDING DURUM) AND BARLEY. With any summerfallow treatment, allow 10 days to elapse between treatment and tillage. Only weeds emerged at time of application will be controlled. Page 7 of 13

Degree of suppression will vary with size of weed and environmental conditions prior to and following treatment. ** Roundup Dry* is expressed as rate of active per hectare, rather than rate of product per hectare. Fields treated with EXPRESS Toss-N-Go Herbicide + Roundup* or Touchdown* can be seeded with wheat (spring or durum) or barley a minimum of 24 hours after application. MIXING INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Add one-third of the necessary volume of water to the spray tank. 2. With the agitator running, add the required number of EXPRESS Toss-N-Go Herbicide water soluble bags. 3. When EXPRESS Toss-N-Go Herbicide is in suspension, add the required amount of the appropriate tank mix partners. 4. Specific Tank Mix Instructions: EXPRESS Toss-N-Go Herbicide + 2,4-D Ester: Once EXPRESS Toss-N-Go Herbicide is completely in suspension, add the required amount of 2,4-D Ester while maintaining agitation. Do not add a surfactant. EXPRESS Toss-N-Go Herbicide + Roundup Original* or Roundup Transorb* or Roundup Weathermax* or Roundup Dry* or Touchdown* iq or Touchdown* 600: Once EXPRESS Toss-N- Go Herbicide is completely in suspension, add the required amount of Roundup Original* or Roundup Transorb* or Roundup Weathermax* or Roundup Dry* or Touchdown* iq or Touchdown* 600 as indicated in the APPLICATION RATES AND TIMING tables. Once components are in suspension, if required, add AGRAL* 90 at 3.5 L per 1000 L of spray solution (0.35% v/v). 5. Add the rest of the water. If an antifoam agent is required, add this last. 6. Use a minimum spray volume of 55 L/ha. 7. For repeat tankloads, reduce the material remaining in the tank to 10% of the original volume or less before proceeding with step 1. If this is not possible, pre-slurry EXPRESS Toss-N-Go Herbicide in a small amount (5-10 L) of water before adding to the tank. Continuous agitation is required to keep EXPRESS Toss-N-Go Herbicide in suspension. If the spray preparation is left standing without agitation, thoroughly agitate to re-suspend the mixture before spraying. Use spray preparation within 24 hours or product degradation may occur. NOTE: Do not mix the soluble bags with liquid fertilizers, substances that contain boron or substances that release free chlorine. Mixing the water soluble bags with any of these compounds will result in an insoluble substance in the tank. In some cases, tank mixing a pest control product with another pest control product or a fertilizer can result in biological effects that could include, but are not limited to: reduced pest efficacy or increased host crop injury. The user should contact FMC Corporation at for information before mixing Page 9 of 13

10 any pesticide or fertilizer that is not specifically recommended on this label. The user assumes the risk of losses that result from the use of tank mixes that do not appear on this label or that are not specifically recommended by FMC Corporation. MINIMUM RECROPPING INTERVAL AND CROP ROTATION GUIDELINES: A minimum recrop interval of 2 months should be left between the application of this product and seeding of the next crop. The following crops can be seeded two months after application of EXPRESS Toss-N- Go Herbicide + 2,4-D Ester: canola, flax, lentils, and alfalfa. EQUIPMENT-SPRAY VOLUMES: Apply the spray mixture uniformly with properly calibrated ground equipment only. Ensure thorough coverage and a uniform spray pattern. Flat fan nozzles are recommended (minimum 55 litres spray volume per hectare). Use 50 mesh filter screens or larger (metal or nylon). Continuous agitation is required to keep the spray materials in suspension. Apply uniformly and avoid overlapping. Shut off spray boom while starting, turning, slowing or stopping to prevent crop injury from over application. Reduce drift with high water volume, low pressure, coarse sprays and drop nozzles. SPRAYER CLEANUP: It is difficult to remove all traces of 2,4-D Ester from a sprayer. A sprayer used to apply this herbicide should not be used to spray crops sensitive to this herbicide. The following clean-out procedure will remove traces of EXPRESS Toss-N-Go Herbicide from the sprayer. 1. Drain tank; then flush tank, boom and hoses with clean water for a minimum of ten minutes to remove all visible residues. 2. Fill the tank with clean water then add 1 litre household AMMONIA (containing a minimum of 3% ammonia) per 100 litres of water. Fill boom and hoses with solution and allow sprayer to sit for 15 minutes. Drain. 3. Repeat step Nozzles and screens should be removed and cleaned separately. To remove traces of ammonia, rinse the tank, hoses and booms thoroughly with clean water. 5. Dispose of tank rinseate according to Provincial directions. CAUTION: Do not use ammonia with chlorine bleach. Using ammonia with chlorine bleach will release a gas with a musty chlorine odour which can cause eye, nose, throat and lung irritation. Do not clean equipment in an enclosed area. RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS: For resistance management, EXPRESS Toss-N-Go Herbicide is a Group 2 herbicide. Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to EXPRESS Toss-N-Go Herbicide and other Group 2 herbicides. The resistance biotypes may dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly in the same field. Other resistance mechanisms that are not linked to site of action, but specific for individual chemicals, such as enhanced metabolism, may also exist. Appropriate resistancemanagement strategies should be followed. Page 10 of 13

11 To delay herbicide resistance: Where possible rotate the use of EXPRESS Toss-N-Go Herbicide or other Group 2 herbicides with different herbicide groups that control the same weeds in a field. Use tank mixtures with herbicides from different groups when such use is permitted Herbicide use should be based on an IPM program that includes scouting, historical information related to herbicide use and crop rotation, and considers tillage (or other mechanical), cultural, biological and other chemical control practices. Monitor treated weed populations for resistance development. Prevent movement of resistant weed seeds to other fields by cleaning harvesting and tillage equipment and planting clean seed. Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisors for any additional pesticide resistance-management and/or integrated weed-management recommendations for specific crops and weed biotypes. For further information or to report suspected resistance, contact your local FMC representative or the FMC hotline at for further information USE PRECAUTIONS: Licensed wheat and barley varieties have shown acceptable tolerance to EXPRESS Toss-N-Go Herbicide. Consult FMC Corporation prior to use on unlicensed varieties for crop tolerance information. Do not apply to irrigated land where tail water will be used to irrigate other crop land. Do not contaminate irrigation water. Use a maximum of 10 grams of EXPRESS Toss-N-Go Herbicide per hectare per year. Do not use on highly variable soils that have large gravely or sandy areas, eroded knolls or calcium deposits. Do not apply to fields to be planted to spring wheat, durum wheat or barley undersown with legumes or grasses as injury to the forage may result. EXPRESS Toss-N-Go Herbicide applied to fields to be planted to spring wheat, durum wheat or barley that is stressed by severe conditions such as drought, low fertility, saline soils, waterlogged soils (soils at or near field capacity), disease or insect damage may result in crop injury. Drought, disease or insect damage following application may also result in crop injury, grade or yield loss. Do not remove soil from treated fields for use on lawns, in gardens or for backfill. Under certain conditions such as prolonged cool weather temperature or wide fluctuations in day/night temperatures just prior to or soon after treatment, temporary yellowing and/or crop stunting may occur. OVERSPRAY OR DRIFT TO IMPORTANT WILDLIFE HABITATS SUCH AS SHELTERBELTS, WETLANDS, SLOUGHS OR DRY SLOUGH BORDERS, OR WOODLOTS, SHOULD BE AVOIDED. LEAVE A 15 METER BUFFER ZONE BETWEEN THE LAST SPRAY SWATH AND THE EDGE OF ANY OF THESE HABITATS. Control of weeds growing in wheel tracks may be reduced EXPRESS Toss-N-Go Herbicide is applied under dry, dusty conditions. STORAGE: Page 11 of 13
